10 Amazing Female Firefighters

Bessie Hudson, the first black female battalion chief of Orange County Fire Rescue in Orlando, Florida.
Fire Science Colleges has a great post up highlighting some amazing women firefighters, so check it out. My bud Brenda Berkman even made the list! (I knew Brenda back in my nonprofit days when I worked on nontraditional employment for women.) Brenda was one of NYC’s first female firefighters and sued to be able to get her job. If you’re interested, Taking the Heat is a great film about Brenda and the other women who fought to serve on the fire department.
